"It’s no surprise a curd-loving state like Wisconsin would know its way around a good mac and cheese. This downtown spot starts with locally made sharp cheddar, and parmesan-style SarVecchio, and is topped with crispy breadcrumbs."

Dan Gentile

"But the folks at The Old Fashioned scramble all over said basket, sourcing the best local products, which for their mac means the sharpest cheddar in the state mixed with SarVecchio, Wisconsin's creamy homegrown riff on Parmesan-Reggiano."

Andrea Behling

"Order the Old Fashioned’s No. 51 on the menu—the mac ‘n’ cheese made with Wisconsin sharp cheddar and sarvecchio and topped with bread crumbs—but make sure you make it a classic by adding a side of Fendt’s ring bologna, made in Watertown."

Nichole Fromm

"The mac and cheese was the star of the table and beautiful to behold - JM found the grainy mouthfeel, probably the Sarvecchio's contribution, to be ever so slightly challenging."

Hilary Burg

"Made with Wisconsin sharp cheddar and Sarvacchio cheeses and baked with bread crumbs for a delicious crunch, this bowl of mac is the perfect way to top off a brisk walk around Madison’s Capitol Square."

Linda Falkenstein

"The Old Fashioned's mac comes with a side of old fashioned ring bologna, which seals the deal. Very nice presentation, cheesiness and bite."

Lindsay Christians

"Served with a section of bologna from Fendt Brothers Meat Market in Watertown, it’s rich and creamy with 7-year-old Vern’s cheddar and SarVecchio cheese, a Wisconsin-made Parmesan."

Jessica Adamiak

"Wisconsinites know cheese, and The Old Fashioned’s mac is stuffed with the best varieties the region’s small producers have to offer, among them seven-year-old Vern’s cheddar and SarVecchio, a special type of Parmesan."
